National Partnership

The National Partnership (NS) was a fascist political party that existed from 1939 to 1945, the only authorized political party in the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. All male full-aged citizens of the protectorate were forced to be party members, and most of its members were Protestant men; women were not allowed to join. The party supported Czechoslovakian collaboration with Nazi Germany during World War II, and the Nazi Party exercised all political power in the protectorate after January 1943, following the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
